Maru Newby cb0df591a9 Add the option to minimize ovs l2 polling
This change adds the ability to monitor the local ovsdb for
interface changes so that the l2 agent can avoid unnecessary
polling.  Minimal changes are made to the agent so the risk
of breakage should be low.  Future efforts to make the agent
entirely event-based may be able to use OvsdbMonitor as a
starting point.

By default polling minimization is not done, and can only be
enabled by setting 'minimize_polling = True' in the ovs
section of the l2 agent's config file.

Closes-Bug: #1177973
